Our Features

Open Access Documents

We maintain a watch on more than 1000 public policy institutes, government agencies, advocacy groups, think-tanks, university research centres and other public interest groups to keep abreast of their new publications, which are made available to the public without charge.

Subscription Model

The desLibris subscription license, which delivers over 60,000 Books and Documents in ready-to use form, with regular updates, is the most cost-effective answer to maintaining a strong Canadian collection.

Canadian Books

Books from Canadian independent publishers are often low on the priority list for libraries when budgets are strained by foreign exchange, popular demand for the latest “Vampire” or “Shade” best-seller. desLibris is a simple way to stock catalogues with the latest offerings from over 100 Canadian publishers.

Discovery Tools

desLibris provides libraries with everything they need to quickly put contents into circulation, including high-quality MARC records for every title, integration with major Discovery Services like OCLC Worldcat, Ebsco Discovery Services and Serials Solutions.

Some of our reviews

Antje Helmuth

desLibris collects Canadian “born digital” govdocs into a comprehensive collection and made it available to subscribers online. Licences are surprisingly liberal and subscription costs reasonable, so that it is as easy for law firms to subscribe as it is for a larger public or academic library.

Louis Mirando

Osgoode Hall Law School

By supplying documents in an aggregated form along with MARC cataloguing, Canadian Electronic Library provides a vital service for both libraries and the organizations whose publications it covers.

Karen Lippold

Memorial University Library

Much useful information is hidden in technical reports of research bodies, varying from university research institutes to think tanks such as the Fraser Institute. Even though many are available in on the Internet, these publications are difficult for libraries to make accessible.
